! The following sweet aud Lc0utifnl
message OF love and sympathy was
written by the Superintendent of the
Press Department of the BrOok haven
W. c. L. T., and sont to Mrs. J. q
Gambrell Ne an expression OF the Unions
feelings over the death Of her noble
SOD:
Mrs.. J. B Gsmbreil, Jackson, Miss:
DEAR SIsrER-As lightly and tenderly
as the dews from heaven fall upon an
esrth-wOrn spirit, would we step upon the
threshold of your sorrowing home. We
would not enter its sacred portals for fear
'twould be but to intrude upon the har-
rowing grief that has come with such
sudden, awful blight upon you;
but we pould breathe in tenderest
love to your aching mother
heart q message Of sympathy and re-
greet. We feel that We not only sym
psthize with you, but that We bear o
part in your sorrow, for in your gallant,
martyred boy, had We not a true aud
chivalrous brotheri Truth and right and
justice and mercy were in his lofty soul
combined to make q man akin to his
creator. Shoulder to shoulder he stood
with us in the great, pure temperance
cause and upon him as upon n rock We
could lean for support, knowing that no
moth of selfish ambition nor rust Of
passive Indifference, too often found even
where many years have tried to teach,
could sap the foundation of principle and
truth that in him were so nobly laid.
Cut down with the blush of youth
beaming upon his face. manhood just
within his grasp, with all its rich pro-
misses that future years would bring of
greatness and goodness, with his heart
beating with worthy ambition for his
country. he served with all young
soldiers loving enthusiasm, our hearts
are palsied at our own regret. To the
mother agonizing over such loss-Day
over more; over the wantonly spilled
blood of her tirst-born, of her loving,
merry hearted bOy-what words can we
utter to assuage her anguish Human
words seem unholy things at such
time and we'll you know, poor, broken
heart "him who knoweth all thy grief"
Roderick Gambrell in the few short years
he lived, accomplished more than many
others who have passed beyond the allot-
ed time of man. A martyr to our cause,
martyr to truth, he lived, he died a
hero. God grant that his sacriticial death
may mark q new era in the cause of
morality in the cause Of temperance and
right. His memory will be revered as
long as time shall last, and to Roderick
GambrelPs life will mothers point their
sons in future years and wish for them
no greater glory, than that they live
as he lived, that they die as he died with
angels reckoning above to eternal life,
though enemies cluster around to loose
the golden chord that but leads to a
golden glory in the Great Beyond.
Your sisters in the love of Christ,
W. G. T. u, of Brookhaven.

used Boschees German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fact all throat and lung diseases. No
person can use it without immediate re-
lief. Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty of all drug
gists to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle,
as $4,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed was
reported. Such q medicine as the Ger

Readiness for mobilization supposes three
principal preparations made beforehand in
time of peace; first, for filling up regiments
and corps to war strength with men armed
and trained: second, for provision of horses
and stores without delay and without stint;
third, for having the horses and stores eX-
actly where they are needed-namely, where
ever the unit which is to use them is to be
modified. AS an example, take the great
war of 1870. The Prussian regiments for
first line were all mobilized in from seven to
eleven days, and this means that they were
in perfect readiness to march and in full
possession of their horses, carriages spare
ammunition and SO on.
The French. on the contrary, though they
had in existence all that was required had
it not in the right place; so that immense
confusion resulted and the army was not
even ready for defense when the Germans
We're already concentrated for attack on the
French frontier. Yet France had declared
war and ought to have had a good start.
The German Landwehr was ready little
later, being fully modified in from ten to
fifteen days improvements since made
enable the German cavalry to be ready al
most instantly, and SOB battalions within
seven days. followed by 800 more on the
eighth or ninth day. In other words, little
more than Weel; would elapse before
force of nearly 900, 600, with full proportion
of artillery, would be completely ready and
provided with every necessity for n cam
paign, including horses. And all this
efficiency is combined with strict economy,
because Germany is a military nation. -
